Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Rowdy! Rowdy is a stunning black Shepherd mix who turned an uncertain start into a bright new future. Picked up as a stray by animal control, this gorgeous boy has quickly shown everyone just how special he is. With his sleek, shiny coat and expressive eyes, Rowdy turns heads wherever he goes—but it’s his brain that really steals the show. His foster mom calls him one smart cookie, and she’s not wrong! Rowdy already knows several commands, is eager to learn more, and is a quick study—especially when it comes to figuring things out (including how to open doors!). He’s house-trained and confidently uses a doggie door like a pro. Rowdy loves to run, play, and burn off energy, so he’d thrive with an active family or a canine playmate who can match his enthusiasm for fun. At the end of the day, he’s happy to settle in—he will sleep in a crate, but would much rather snooze in his foster mom’s room close to his people. Based on his positive interactions in his foster home, we think Rowdy would do best with older children who can appreciate his playful, energetic nature. If you’re looking for a smart, active, and affectionate companion who’s ready to be your adventure buddy, Rowdy just might be your perfect match. Rowdy is microchipped, neutered and current on his vaccines. His adoption fee is $415. He is about 10 months old and weighs about 44 lbs.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
